"A W.H. Freeman/Owl book."
Includes bibliographical references (pages 290-302) and index
Part I. Where we're going, where we've been: Introduction -- From Aristotle's wonder to a fork in the road : the wrenching of genetics from development -- What Galton's eugenics has wrought : behavior genetics and heritability -- Listening to twins : a critique of twin studies -- Part II. Background basics: Dependent genes : essential biology and DNA -- Running noses, smelling feet : a primer on embryology -- Brain basics : some revelations of developmental neuroscience -- Part III. Developmental systems: A turtle in the shade : the development of sexual characteristics -- The Dutch Hungerwinter and The cat in the hat : how prenatal environments affect our traits -- Chicken shoes and monkey foods : the not-so-subtle effects of some very subtle postnatal experiences -- Tornadoes, stars, and human beings : the developmental systems perspective -- Part IV. Development and evolution: The modern synthesis : what mother nature selects -- Legacies : how we get our environments -- On big muscles and facial hair : reconsidering "inherited," "acquired," and "innate" -- The fetal ape : consequences of integrating development and evolution -- Part V. Implications: When cows fly : the full-blown demise of genetic determinism -- Budging The bell curve : implications for education -- Finding the cost of freedom : complexity and responsibility -- Medical marvels : implications for genetic and environmental therapies -- Owning cloning : implications for new reproductive technologies
" ... contrary to public opinion, genes don't determine the final form of any of our traits, even biological ones like hair and eye color ... Moore's ... is the first accessible book to show how all traits are caused by complex, dependent interactions, between genes and the environment. In clear, elegant language, Moore investigates how these interactions occur at every stage of biological and psychological development--from a single fertilized egg to a full-grown adult"--Publisher description
